2023-04-28T15:47:17+07:00

Diabetes has now become the seventh cause of death in all age groups in Indonesia. There is a tendency for non-communicable diseases such as Diabetes Mellitus (DM) to increase. This is due to unhealthy lifestyle behaviors that continue to develop in society. DM patients have the potential to suffer various complications if their glucose levels are not controlled. The rapid pace of technology has caused many laboratory equipment manufacturers to create a tool that can be used by both the health community and the non-health community. However, in preparing samples for examination, a phlebotomy technique is needed. Poor phlebotomy technique will affect the examination results issued by the portable device. This community service activity aims to provide knowledge and health checks related to sampling using a poct cholesterol tool for people with Diabetes Mellitus in the Work Area of the Ome Health Center. The methods used in this community service are lectures, question and answer and health checks, practicum (demonstrations), posttests and monitoring evaluations which are carried out 2 weeks later. The results of this community service resulted in the ability to use the POCT tool independently.

2023-02-06T13:47:26+07:00

The purpose of this research was to examine how educating middle school students about cleanliness and sanitation, enforcing laws on vendors, and implementing school policies affects the students' views and attitudes regarding buying snacks. Methods such as surveys, evaluations of vendors, and discussions in small groups were all part of the overall strategy. While teaching about proper cleanliness and sanitation is crucial, the research found that it may not be enough to get kids to rethink their snack-buying habits on its own. Assessments of vendors also found that many were not in complete compliance with applicable hygiene and sanitation laws, potentially endangering the health of customers. Middle school children may benefit greatly from school regulations that make healthy snack selections more accessible and restrict access to less healthy ones, according to the research. Researchers also found that vendors operating in close proximity to schools with stringent standards were more likely to follow those laws' guidelines for cleanliness and sanitation. Based on these results, it seems that school regulations may be a useful tool for fostering a culture of healthy snacking and assuring the security of school food. This research may help shape public health and food safety regulations and instructional programs that target middle school children and their snacking habits.

2023-02-06T13:45:57+07:00

Atherothrombotic, which is an atherosclerotic inflammation with thrombus, is characterized by damage to blood vessels that causes myocardial infarction and isemic stroke with thrombolytic treatment. The side effects of thrombolytic treatment are the cause of the importance of alternative medicine from natural ingredients. The ethyl acetate fraction in Phyllanthus niruri L. is suspected to have thrombolytic activity due to the content of coumarin and flavonoid bioactive compounds based on research that has been done. The purpose of this study was to determine the thrombolytic activity of the ethyl acetate fraction of Phyllanthus niruri L. Thrombolytic activity test is done by measuring the percentage of clot lysis. This study used a true experimental method with a Post Test Only Control Group Design model in 6 treatments, positive control, negative control (PBS and 0.5% DMSO) and four samples for both tests, namely 250 g/mL, 500 g/mL, 1000 g/mL, 2000 g/mL. The results of statistical analysis showed that the data were normally distributed (Shapiro Wilk, p>0.05). The result of the largest clot lysis thrombolytic test was 24.43% (2000ppm) smaller than the positive control 46.33%. The results of the thrombolytic ANOVA test showed that there was no significant difference between treatments, p<0.05, namely 0.017 and F Count > F Table, namely 0.937>3.11. Based on the results, it was found that the ethyl acetate fraction of the herb Phyllanthus niruri L. had a thrombolytic substance with low potency.
